as a religious and secular holiday was in /
every respect a success, and will long be |
remembered. II proved that while Rich |

of making it an occasion of general good !
cheer, she had sufficient regard for the /
sacredness of the festival and her own /
self respect, TO use without abusing IT, /
To its many friends and the public /
generally, the TIMES wishes many happy /
returns OF the joyous season.
